EDITORIALThe Internet is evil.

Why, you say expecting another rant. Because its the most addictive drug ever!

Lets have a look, what is a drug?According to the internet’s urban dictionary it is Something that is stupid, crazy, insane etc.

So is it stupid - lolcats.com = yes, Is it crazy - meatspin.com = yes, Is it insane - Charlie Sheen is indeed on the internet.

So maybe the internet has fooled us with the Urban dictionary, if we actually look at a books definition a substance taken for its narcotic or stimulant effects, often illegally Well I don't know about you, but my first year neighbor sure got ‘stimulant effects’ from the internet, and i’m sure that some of it was illegal.

Just think about it though. How often do you check the mind numbing wasteland that is Facebook. How long can you go without a twitter notification? When the power goes out do you think not all is lost because the seductive internet is there on your phone.

Imagine not checking your Facebook notifications in a week, OH THE HUMANITY!

We’ve developed a new fixation that will most definitely be the end of the earth, and we’re just one more mafia wars invitation away from overdose. Luckily for all us addicts there is a solution. Internets Anonymous. Just google it.

“ GUEST EDITORIALGuest Editorial? Sure why not.

Get ready! Its almost time for all your favourite shows to return. The 2011/2012 U.S Television season is about to get underway. This year Australia will be very lucky with many of these shows being “fast tracked” and aired within hours of being broadcast in the states. Next week all the big shows begin to roll out their brand new season, and on top of that a few new hits will be added, with the introduction of brand new comedies, dramas and thrillers. From Monday Channel Nine will show the brand new Two and a Half Men, and Wednesday sees the return of Glee for Ten.  In the next few days Australian networks will begin to schedule fast tracked episodes of all your favourite shows, so stay tuned to your TV Guide for all that news. The top new shows to look out for either later this year or early next are Up All Night which will air on Seven, Alcatraz which will air on Nine, and New Girl which will air early in the year on Ten.

And while we are on the topic of TV, if you haven’t heard the news already; next year the Nine Network will revive the hit reality show Big Brother. Not to much detail has been given on this interesting television deal, all we know is that it will air sometime in the new year, but with a much needed twist, each housemate will have a secret. Thats all for this special guest editorial section, make sure you check out the return of the Fungappa; and if you see Ash around on Wednesday nights, do your best to get your photo taken, you never know you could end up on the back cover.

Remedies for Smooth Skin

“ THE FRUGALSTUDENT

1. Make your diamond ring shine. Just take a toothbrush with a little toothpaste on it and run it over your diamond ring to make it sparkle, then clean off any excess with a soft damp cloth.

2. Baby bottle cleaner. Are your baby's bottles starting to smell a lot like sour milk? If so, toothpaste works well to remove this odour! Just put a little bit of toothpaste on the bottle brush and start scrubbing, and then rinse the bottle out well.

3. Crayon marks remover. Got some crayon artwork on your wall? Don't fear! Just grab a tube of toothpaste, a rag or scrubbing brush, and start cleaning the wall surface. The fine grains in the toothpaste will take away the crayon marks every time. Rinse the wall with water and dry with a towel to finish.

4. Brighten piano keys. Make yellowed piano keys look brighter by cleaning them up with some toothpaste on a soft toothbrush, then after a little scrubbing, wipe them down with a soft damp cloth. This cleaning trick also works well on modern pianos

even though their keys are covered with plastic rather than ivory.

5. Goggles Defogger. Wearing fogged-up goggles is not only annoying but it can be dangerous as well. To prevent this, just coat the goggles with toothpaste and wipe off.

6. Wall filler. If you have small pin or nail holes in your walls, you can just use toothpaste as filler since it dries quickly. You can also use it on white woodwork as well.

7. Pimples. You can dab a little bit of non-whitening toothpaste on a forming pimple so by the time you wake up, the pimple will have dried and minimized in size.

8. Poster adhesive. You can hang posters on the wall without tape. All you need to do is dab a little bit of toothpaste on the corners of the poster and in between the edges. When you're ready to remove the poster, it's easy to remove, and if you have any toothpaste bits on the wall, just use a damp cloth to wipe it away.

PRESENT THIS FLYER FOR 2 4 1 DRINKS

Readers, I need your help. All week I have been plagued by one constant, nagging thought that will not disperse. It is a question that every person must ask themselves at that special time of their lives. It is a question that will shape the future of the entire human race, forever. For some, the answer comes as easy as ABC, but for me it has been the most difficult question I have ever faced.

“What Hogwarts House would I be sorted into?”. I mean it, seriously. I am pretty confident I would be either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, but for the life of me I cannot narrow it down further. I have been told by many to take an online test, but I want to be sorted by J.K. Rowling*! Why do I not get nice things...

The blows to the back of the head edition: International Talk like a Pirate Day (Monday Sept 19th)

ARRRRR! Ahoy me hearties! Ready the riggings and sharpen yar cutlass! Most definitely one of the better ‘mock holidays’ around, Talk like a Pirate day happens every year on September 19, which is next Monday (3rd week of this term if you are reading this late**). I hope to see everyone talking to their friends, lecturers and mothers in Pirate. If the staff at the Nosh refuse to speak in Pirate to me I reckon they should give me food for free. Five points to anyone who tries to pick up by saying “Would yar mind if I fired me cannon through your porthole?” or “Well blow me down!”

I wonder what Hogwarts House Blackbeard would have been in?

Etcetera

*Which will happen in October, when the public can access Pottermore. YAY!

**I hate the apparent confusion that the University dating system causes between myself and my fellow students. There used to be thirteen weeks of lectures, divided into 2 terms of roughly equal length, and 3 weeks of break in between, with the break period NOT counting towards week dating (so first week back would have been week 7). With the introduction of Unified Session Model (USM), this has gone to 12 weeks of lectures and 2 weeks of break, but now the break

COUNTS as part of week numbering (so therefore first week back this term is week 9). This is how I have interpreted it based off my subject outlines for 3 subjects (the fourth refused to include any sort of week numbering system).

It is ridiculously panic inducing when I speak to fellow students asking about assessment dates (for example, one on 28th September I didn’t know firm details for) and I get a reply of “Oh, it’s in week 10.”, but what I actually hear is “Oh, that assessment you have done no work for because you are ridiculously busy with other midsession exams is due next week. Ha-ha, suck it”. This is not cool. Please can we all start referring to week numbering the same way, which as far as I am aware includes the break period as weeks. I may be wrong here, but based off Subject Outlines and Subject Announcements I don’t think I am, and I can provide references if asked in person. So kiddies, this week (2nd week back) is week TEN of a 16 week session, with week 15 and 16 being the exam period. If in the unlikely circumstance I am proven wrong, I will offer a full apology in the next Hungappa.

P.S. Sorry for the massive rant this week instead of usual incoherent ramblings, but I needed to get it out of my system. Also, I cling to a delusional belief that people actually read my articles and that I could possibly change their minds. As I said, utterly delusional.

BIG BAND NIGHT 1

So this is our 2nd club report 2 a year might just be enough I guess. So first up I guess ill write about our successful performance at mini final fling those of you reading may have seen the picture on the cover of last weeks hungappa that was Kayla one of our poi twirlers, I think the night went well we almost got cancelled as with the weather the turnout looked rather bleak but we performed anyway and people seemed to appear from nowhere to watch until there was quite a good gathering.

We had a rotation of 3 going with staff twirling, poi spinning, rope dart juggling and the occasional fire breathing and despite the weather, I think we did pretty well then we went on smelling like kerosene for the rest of the night congratulations and thanks to all members of the fire club who got out and had fun in the spotlight and our president Allen who does an awesome job of organising .We had Adam doing fire breathing, staff and poi. Kayla with poi. Nich with staffs, poi and breathing. Cal going with staff and yours truly harry going out with staff, dual staff and the rope dart despite my intoxication.(sorry if I forgot anyone)

Upcoming performances includes the 2nd Wednesday of this term which should be the day after this article comes out so look out for us in the courtyard we should stand out as the people wearing all black at a yellow themed event. And once again we will be performing at this terms final fling so show up and come watch us we will be performing around the bands schedule so we should be before the bands mostly.

In other news we have some distant plans about possibly going overnight camping with games through the day and twirling all night around a bonfire. Just last Saturday we should have had a successful night of twirling on Wagga Wagga beach with a bbq. Some minor news my fire whip is fixed so prepare for flaming balls of fire next performance and me and Adam figured out how to make a flaming rope dart with almost no tools and on the cheap (relatively).

And as always if you want to learn how to do any of the tricks we do with fire come along to one of our practice nights they are on every week Thursdays 7:30pm at the end of new res car park we have spare equipment and people willing to teach (on that note I hope that some of our

apprentice fire twirlers might get to perform this term and see if they improve under stress)

TIME’S DANCE

Amongst the darkness, light fading, swaying

A twirl like the tide,

Dancing in then out. Bringing with it...

Cadence, a certain tempo, a soul

Like the cascading oak bending down

To even the youngest of men. Like Joseph’s dreams.

We bow, to the dance of time.

He brings, life giving source,

Mother Nature’s elixir, then

A small bud, pressing through the hard winter’s snow,

Forgotten life flowers through.

The most beautiful dance, takes time

To master, to learn, appreciating the convolution

The one, two, turn,

One two tap.

Silver flames, moon lit swans and nutcrackers

From the mighty mount, to the

The late lamb of the season,

beyond.

Star crest sky, a soup of flickering potential

Even the humble stream knows of time’s dance,

Billions of litres

Years and years,

Splash, drip, splash

And so too the mighty rock succumbs

To the beat of this dance

The rum pa pum pum

Time stood all these days and watched.

Bringing with him that dance we all follow.

The hip hop clap

And the tip top tap. Swirling in then out

We all know it, we live it every day

It knows our name

Glancing,

Dancing,

Backing and advancing

You’ll remember him, the tune, the overture

Of time.

~ Article by Jasomil

“ TIME S DANCE‘A bit about me: I’m a first year student and one thing I’ve noticed about university life is that we never have enough time. It’s always scratching at the back of our mind, that next assessment due date makes a good night out, an ok night out with a killer guilt trip afterwards. I’m sure I’m not the only one with this problem. Well over the next few weeks I’ll be writing about time. How to make the most of it, how it affects you, and answering all the question that people keep asking about this. So I thought I would start off with a poem I wrote about time. If you’re a Dr. Who fan you’ll like what’s coming next.

Feeling well rested after his holiday, Skinny returns to uni hoping that maybe after three quarters of the year his mailbag is free of whinging Jaffy’s stupid letters. Its not. Sifting through all this trash he finds himself turned into a weatherman, a careers advisor, and a generally unhappy person.

Dear Skinny

Over the holidays I was on work placement for two weeks and by the second week I was pretty much just doing the actual job. Long hours, flat out, and i wasn’t even getting paid. Is it really fair that the university has made this is a compulsory part of my subject? I mean its essentially slave labour. We could at least get paid a little to subsidize the cost of the actual expenses during the placement.

Bobby

Thanks for the question Bobby, and I have returned with a few similar ones in my mailbag. I think the question you need to be asking is not why am I not getting paid for doing this, but why are they not getting paid extra to put up with you when your obviously on the medical miracle that is the two week male menstrual cycle. If you can’t seriously see the value of real world experience and squeeze at least some enjoyment out of it than I suggest a change in course or a nice sharp razor would be advisable.

Dear Skinny

When will it be sunny?

Regards Mary

Whenever the clouds part and god finally decides to do me a favor by striking you down.

Dear Skinny

I have a really cool roommate who unfortunately he keeps on having these really loud annoying parties where he and his mates just eat junk food and play Call Of Duty. These

testosterone and sugar fueled romps wouldn’t normally bother me, but he does it like three times a week and it’s always when I have class the next day. When I confront him about it he is very dismissive and mean saying I can have make up parties with many friends any time I want. Help me Skinny!

Alex

Alex you are in a bit of a predicament, and I know your probably coming to me in hope of some really obscure but effective solution, like rubbing estrogen on his PS3 or something. But i’m sorry I can’t condone such action because... Its Call of Duty. Let the man play.
